Silver nanowire/polyimide composite transparent electrodes for reliable flexible polymer solar cells operating at high and ultra-low temperature

Abstract

Silver nanowire and polyimide composite transparent electrodes are produced that show excellent properties under ultralow and high temperatures.

One-step synthesis of ultra-long silver nanowires of over 100 μm and their application in flexible transparent conductive films

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is a higher transparency and a lower sheet resistance among the values reported previously for transparent conductive AgNWs lms. [32][33][34][35] A Kapton tape was also used to test the adhesion of AgNWs/HEC conductive ink on the PET substrate, and the result indicates that the AgNWs/HEC conductive ink possesses an adhesion of 0/5B (ISO/ASTM grade) on the PET substrate. The adhesion is very strong and excellent for transparent conductive lms without any extra treatments.…”

High Performance Flexible Transparent Electrode via One‐Step Multifunctional Treatment for Ag Nanonetwork Composites Semi‐Embedded in Low‐Temperature‐Processed Substrate for Highly Performed Organic Photovoltaics

“…[ 27,30 ] Recently, relatively smooth morphology has been made by integrating the nanowires in polymer substrate matrix, but still with sharp peak‐to‐valley roughness of about 25 nm mainly due to the adhesion issue between the solid substrate and polymer liquid, which could cause current leakage in devices. [ 31,32 ] Besides, the full coverage of Ag nanowires by insulating polymer substrate matrix will degrade their charge transportation between the Ag nanowires and adjacent charge transport layer (CTL) and thus hinder their device applications.

Sb2O3/Ag/Sb2O3 Multilayer Transparent Conducting Films For Ultraviolet Organic Light-emitting Diode

“…Currently commercial TCFs are transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) including indium tin oxides (ITOs) and fluorine-doped tin oxides (FTOs) films. Recently, several emerging materials such as conducting polymers5, carbon nanotubes6, graphene7, and metallic nanowires have shown favorable electrical conductivity and transparency as those of ITO8, which plays important role in devices. However, all the above conducting materials are only transparent in the visible region.…”
